Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday Dear Grayson

Happy Birthday to you!

We had his birthday party with friends on Aug 9th at Pump It Up, but we still wanted to celebrate his actual birthday so we celebrated at home with friends.  He was excited to blow out the candles on his chocolate cake.

He was putting on a show for the doctor and she thought he was adorable.  He was speaking Spanish to her and being such a flirt.  He knows more words in Spanish than some kids know in English.

~ What he is saying ~

It's coming

Delicious

Oh my gosh

Oh my goodness

Wow

Daddy said, "Tell him to come" referring to Ethan.  Grayson said, "Come him"

Daddy, open this

Be careful (he told me to be careful when I was climbing up the park equipment 

Open the door

Daddy, play

I found it

There's a jeep

What is that/what's that

Daddy calling?

I come with you

~ Things he likes/His Favorites ~

He loves blocks and has fun making stuff.  He says, "Let's go build something."

His babies (lovies) have to go with him for bedtime and naps and downstairs when he has his bottles after he wakes up, before nap and bedtime.  We will start working on getting rid of the bottles soon, but I thought it was too much with the new addition to the family.  He calls his #1 baby "favorite" (he chews on all the sides where it has knots so we have to clean him often) and his #2 is "blanket."  I love the picture of him with all of his babies and his legs crossed.

He loves to jump and calls it boinging.  Daddy has fun with this and I cringe.

He loves Batman and wants to wear anything Batman almost every day.  I had to buy several so we didn't run out.

We stopped by the Chicago Fire Department and Grayson got to see the firetrucks and firemen.  They turned on the sirens for him and he was so excited.  He loves firetrucks!

He loves going to the park and spends about 2 hours + each day at one of the 4-5 parks in our area. 

He loves to flirt, but has started being a little shy when he thinks the girl is cute. 

Grayson, you keep us entertained all the time with your mischievous ways.  You get into everything, especially when you know you shouldn't.  We love how you start to do something you know you shouldn't do and give us a look to see how far we will let you go. You are definitely testing the boundaries and are figuring out your independence.  While we know we should be mad at some of the things you do, we can't help but laugh in amazement.  You are so incredibly fun to be with and a pure joy.  You have such a curious mind and go a mile a minute. We can't wait to see what the next year brings.  We love you more than words can say and thank God every day for bringing us our miracle baby.
